Yet another public "safety" organization jumping on the 700 MHz Kool Aide...


"...fire truck from Caldwell responding to an incident in Pocatello could talk to their dispatch..."

Umm no...

If it's a large enough incident that there are agencies supporting it from the other side of the state, it's likely a federal fire which is on VHF with logistics on UHF-Lo... While most of the VHF fire side has gone to P25 the last season, no where is 700 MHz encrypted P25 found in "interoperable solutions" for fireground operations...

Absolutely amazing...

Where we already have MAJOR coverage issues with the existing VHF system for medical and fire in Canyon County...
